I figured I'd try and work out this song, it's pretty basic, just put a capo on the 1st 
fret, if someone can do a better version, by all means do so, this is just to help 
anyone looking.


D               G
This kid that I knew
    D        G
Got tired of school
    D           G            C
One day he just walked outta there
    D                   G
I'm not trying to sound dramatic
         D          G
Plannin' wasn't his habit
   D                    G       C
He didn't even take his wallet, I swear

I lived in LA, he starred in New York
One night he showed up at my door
He said, when I was soft, I had a similar loft
But I don't live nowhere no more


      D                    G
I had seen her deserts, my friends
    C            G           D
Her canyons, her oceans, her mountains
           D            G
Low flying owl seems to appear
    C        G            D
Whenever I'm stuck on the road


    D       G     C         D  G  C
But most of all I loved her highways
D                 G                 D            G
It's true we were homeless. but the world it was ours
D             G        C
One change of clothes, camped out in the boxcars
D         G            D            G
I saw the sky touching earth on all sides
  D       G               C
I saw red lightnin in the distance

... and repeat, hopefully you get the idea!
